If you're in the mood for a particular map or mode in Battlefield 6, the custom search option is meant to quickly get you there. But, as you may have noticed, it'll often dump you to a match completely unrelated to your chosen settings. The devs say that's by design, as they don't want you to wait too long to get into the action, but it sounds like changes are on the table.
Global community manager Kevin Johnson has offered "a little bit of context" about the custom search on Twitter, as its propensity to not actually give you what you want is "by design in some ways." In essence, the custom search simply prioritizes your preferences – but if it can't immediately get you into the match you actually want, it'll try to get you into something close enough. Or not close at all, as the case may be.
